Lorrie_in_SA

Hi spirte :)

3:45 am

sprite

nice size today. And nice first words :) Started with a nice drink and something good to eat.

3:46 am

herinfernallady

How are you Sprite?

3:47 am

sprite

seriously stressed out. Lots of sadness about the thing with my father and yesterday my hubby told me he wants us to move to a boat. Living ship. Don't know the word. We are going to make an appointment to look at it today.

3:50 am

lynxxx

Oh Sprite, thats a lot on your plate. Houseboat is probably the word you are looking for, don't knw how that would work out with the kids - ??. Did you make contact w. your father after the photos arrived (aside from your letter) or are you still mulling over it?

3:52 am

herinfernallady

Sprite i don't know what happened yesturday its ok no need to rehash. Take care

3:52 am

sprite

only the letter, lynxxx, which is all I am prepared to do. His letter showed he is still the same manipulating bully he always was, so it is stupid to think letting him back into my life will be a positive thing. Guess I am mourning losing what I never had. Stupid hah.

3:53 am

sprite

and I have been forced to move about 20 times in my life. I am petrified of moving. Well, that is how I am. How are you guys doing today?

3:53 am

herinfernallady

Hugs sprite

3:54 am

sprite

thanks lady, for the hug :)

3:54 am

lynxxx

You have a wonderful husband & kids Sprite, you are missing nothing!

3:55 am

herinfernallady

Sprite why do you have to move? Does your father own the house?

3:55 am

sprite

so true, lynxxx! That is what I am telling myself. We built something my father will never have. I know I am stupid to be so sad. But I am.

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Hugs lots of hugs sprite

3:56 am

sprite

Lady: no, but part of my hubby's burnout is caused by money problems. He wants to move to a cheaper home. It is all because I cannot work anymore.

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Oh ok. I understand.

3:57 am

herinfernallady

Money issues really suck.

3:58 am

sprite

they do, especially if someone cannot see things are working out anyway. My love is stressed out over it, no matter how often I show him we are doing ok. Not great, but ok.

3:58 am

lynxxx

I've seen a few shows on people who undertake houseboat living. Its looks quite difficult and with many many things to consider like where to moor it and the cost of that. Maybe there are other options you can consider also. I so hope this issue can be quickly overcome - if only for your sake {{hugs}}

3:58 am

herinfernallady

Ok is good

4:00 am

PMS

r

4:00 am

sprite

thanks so much, lynxxx. And lady. It really helps to be allowed to vent to you and know you care.
True about the houseboat living issues. But how to reason with a man whose dream it is to live on the water?

4:00 am

Book Doctor Gwen

morning all, or evening, etc!

4:00 am

sprite

hi Gwen!

4:00 am

Book Doctor Gwen

wonder how long it'll take me to finish 1/4 of this puzzle

4:01 am

lynxxx

Sprite - perhaps that dream can wait until the kids leave home, really that would not be long to wait

4:01 am

sprite

about 1/6 of the time it will take to finish all of it ;)

4:01 am

herinfernallady

Book HI.

4:01 am

lynxxx

Hi Gwen - probably not long - lots and lots of 'endings'

4:01 am

herinfernallady

Sprite what about your mobility issues and boating?

4:01 am

sprite

I am right with you, lynxxx! Now only to convince my love.

4:02 am

sprite

Lady: not at all easy. That is partly why I agreed to come looking at it. Perhaps if he sees how tough it is for me to just get on and off, he will realise it is not the best way to go.

4:03 am

sprite

I'd hate to veto it, though I will if I have to. It is much better if we can work it out together.

4:03 am

herinfernallady

Ok Sprite

4:06 am

sprite

Gwen, about 25 minutes for 1/3 of this grid.

4:06 am

herinfernallady

I have been at this for ages

4:06 am

sprite

and that includes chatting. Nice thing with biggies, you usually get to make a flying start :)

Wowee, good morning all, what a big grid. I am going to try to complete it today...while I recover from yesterdays work day.

4:42 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Thanks Ate - quite cute I though! :)

4:42 am

redturtlehead

The job is usually fine, yesterday I got a very critical patient who tried to die a variety of times and then had this horrible all over bleeding issue, and I did nto enjoy it at all.

4:44 am

Atalante

how inconsiderate of him!

4:44 am

lynxxx

I bet! wow, no wonder you are exhausted

4:44 am

sprite

back again, hi all who entered when I was away

4:44 am

redturtlehead

It was unfortunate for all...the patient, myself the doctor and the other staff who i was not very nice to.

4:45 am

herinfernallady

Hi red and Ata

4:45 am

sprite

oh my, red, that is really tough!

4:45 am

Lorrie_in_SA

wb sprite :) Hope you are ok...

4:45 am

herinfernallady

Red did said patient pull through?

4:45 am

lynxxx

I am sure everyone would get uptight under those circumstances Red

4:45 am

herinfernallady

Ata have you seen the LJ spotlight hollow_art i think?

4:45 am

sprite

well, with pressure like that, nice is not a priority,red.

4:46 am

Andree

hi everyone

4:46 am

redturtlehead

Well, I feel good about the part I played in talking tot he wife...but I hope that people will forgive me for being kind of annoyed...We had to put in a pacemaker in the ER, a wire into the heart...

4:46 am

sprite

Lorrie: ok enough, I guess. Panic alone is not fatal, I believe ;)

4:46 am

herinfernallady

Hi Andree

4:46 am

sprite

hi Andree

4:47 am

Andree

sorry, mind is in other places tonight

4:47 am

People will forgive you, red. You were under a huge amount of pressure. Being nice is not really important at such a moment.

4:47 am

redturtlehead

TY Andree!!!

4:47 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Just try and take it easy - I know from experience it isn't easy to do that, but.... :)

4:47 am

Atalante

4:47 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Hi Andree

4:47 am

Andree

I am waiting for SES to arrive a tree has fallen on one of my trucks

4:48 am

herinfernallady

Ata it has all sorts of icons

4:48 am

Andree

I can't seem to take a trick at the moment

4:48 am

herinfernallady

Damn Andree thats irritating

4:48 am

sprite

will try, Lorrie, thanks :) I took a calming pill. That is a start, usually I don't even allow myself that much. Hubby and I decided we will just go and take a look. Just for inspiration, for now.

4:48 am

lynxxx

In your yard Andree?

4:48 am

Andree

I wish all I felt was irritation

4:48 am

sprite

darn Andree, that slows down business again :(

4:49 am

sprite

*crawls off to sin bin*

4:49 am

redturtlehead

andree that stinks!!! q a whole truck...

4:49 am

herinfernallady

Well i don't think what i would like to say could be printable

4:49 am

redturtlehead

It puts a lot of things out of commission doesnt it?

4:50 am

sprite

lol lady, you are doing fine. I got what you didn't print anyway ;)

4:50 am

Andree

no lynxxx , across the road in a little reserve where it was parked as my temporary driver had to take the day off, otherwise it would not have been in the wrong place at the wrong time

4:51 am

sprite

things are not easy business-wise for you at the moment, are they Andree :(

4:52 am

lynxxx

as you said 'can't take a trick' hope it isn't too damaged. I assume you have the gale type winds we had a few days ago Andree

4:52 am

Andree

it will probably be drivable, the roof is damaged etc, I have taken lots of photos for the insurance but if the cables are undamaged it should be able to make deliveries tomorrow

4:54 am

sprite

*keeps fingers crossed for Andree that the damage will prove to be limited and quickly solved*

4:55 am

4:57 am

sprite

you are going amazingly fast, Gwen!

4:58 am

Book Doctor Gwen

aw gee thanks

4:58 am

Andree

its next to a school and by the phone calls to the office when it happened must have been when school ended for the day and all the kids use this area as a shortcut, so the upside is if the truck wasn't there it would have killed someone

4:58 am

LoriP

Oh yes Ata, I saw that. Quite amazing. The rain kept them somewhat contained, and they are trying to keep it that way......

4:59 am

sprite

is Ata our new FMitch, lady? Can we blame her for everything now?

4:59 am

Atalante

noooo. still FM

4:59 am

LoriP

Sounds like bad luck, but good luck then Andree. :(

4:59 am

sprite

that is some consolation, Andree, at least. Though it doesn't compensate you financially.

5:02 am

Andree

ses said they would be here "within the hour " a couple of hours ago but still no sign

5:02 am

herinfernallady

No Ata made me look up torchwood icons

5:42 am

Scrabbler

lady--the family that owns the rabbit will be buying a house soon and I will find out if they want her back. I have absolutely fallen in love with her as she is so social and docile. But she belongs to them. On the other hand, they have not called to ask about her or to come visit her.

5:42 am

Scrabbler

Hi AJV

5:42 am

herinfernallady

Oh Scrabbler i do hope you can keep the rabbit

5:43 am

sounds like the rabbit is better off with you then, Scrabbler

5:43 am

Aussieme

Hey Spritey..... heres one for you !! Jack Burton: Great. Walls are probably three feet thick, welded shut from the outside, and covered with brick by now!
Wang Chi: Don't give up, Jack!
Jack Burton: OK, I won't, Wang! Let's just CHEW our way out of here.

5:44 am

Scrabbler

She is a very happy house rabbit now---no longer trapped in a cage. She sprints all over the downstairs at full speed, which is very funny to observe. She is a 3 lb 13 oz fluff ball.

5:44 am

And not at all spoilt right Scrabbler?

That happened to beloved too... in 2005... eight weeks of intensive radiation and chemo..

Haz1558

That's very kind of you, Scarlet!

9:07 am

Haz1558

I must tell you about my sister's good fortune yesterday. She went across to WImbledon, queued up and eventually found herself (thanks to returned tickets) on Centre Court for the last hour of the Murray v Gasquet thriller last night.

9:07 am

BzznBea

Morning, everyone.

9:07 am

Haz1558

I was a delicate shade of green.

9:08 am

flosey

time for first coffee break, bbs

9:08 am

Haz1558

She was thrilled! She hadn't expected that treat at all. She's there again today, but watching seniors and men's doubles matches. She was fortunate, indeed.

9:08 am

Scarlet

Thanks, Une... best get out before the sun makes it too hot to work!

9:09 am

BzznBea

I would have been more more than a delicate shade of green, Haz.

9:10 am

Haz1558

Bye Scarlet.

9:10 am

Scarlet

*delirious?* 'Bye!

9:10 am

Haz1558

I was delighted for her. I watched the match at home, yelling from time to time.

9:11 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, harpjane.

9:11 am

BzznBea

I wasn't sure Murry was going to pull it out.

9:11 am

Haz1558

I was convinced he was going to lose and couldn't quite believe what was happening.

9:12 am

BzznBea

But now he must play Rapha.

9:12 am

Haz1558

But that's the thrill of tennis. It isn't over until it's over, if you know what I mean. I was sure they were going to run out of light.

9:12 am

Haz1558

I can't see him beating Nadal, I really can't. He's playing so powerfully.

9:13 am

BzznBea

Only if Nadal has an injury, I think.

9:13 am

kje

9:13 am

Haz1558

Bye kje.

9:14 am

BzznBea

Tata, kje.

Haz1558

An injury, or both arms tied behind his back, or made to wear ankle chains.

9:14 am

BzznBea

LOL!

9:14 am

Haz1558

THEN Murray might have a chance.

9:16 am

Haz1558

Anyway, the sky is brightening a bit so I'd better take the chance to get Spangle a walk. Have a good day. Bye!

10:49 am

harpjane

My summer job was on Isle Royale, an island in the middle of Lake Superior. The closest part of the mainland was Thunder Bay, Ontario. Folks were getting homesick, cabin fever etc. and although fireworks were not allowed on the Island, our boss agreed to take us by boat to a spot where we could, allegedly, see the Canada Day fireworks in Thunder Bay....

10:50 am

BzznBea

c+ru5/12

10:51 am

flosey

sharon, not urban, but *****

10:51 am

harpjane

So off we go, into the middle of Lake Superior. The western sky was beautiful and it turned into a hundred different colors as we headed further into the lake.

10:52 am

harpjane

Eventually we could see little pink and orange "dots" on the horizon, the fireworks at Thunder Bay. Everyone was straining to see these little poofs, and they were completely ignoring the beautiful sunset....

10:52 am

lexleeanne

d's done

10:53 am

harpjane

As the evening continued, the sunset faded into Northern Lights, then a beautiful set of bright stars. But everyone was still trying to see the little teeny fireworks....

10:53 am

harpjane

29 years ago and I still remember the fireworks that God showed us!

10:53 am

rururocks

I have all the cu's except the 5/16 at the end. anyone have a clue on that one?

BR-r... it is so good to see that your computer did not die... you had mentioned some weeks back that you might disappear altogether if your machine did not improve. Good news that you are still amongst the living.

11:37 am

Aloyisius

BTW, I printed out that RWE quote... love it so much and haven't seen it for a long time.. I ty for that Scarlet.

11:38 am

BabbleRabble

I thought I would try Steinbeck's mantra for a bit .. to the stars on the wings of a pig

11:41 am

Aloyisius

Am fine, Scarlet.. traveling a wee bit too much this year.. mostly family related. Seems our fledglings have all located out west... gheez.. Calif, NM and AZ.. with airfares and the economy and all, we have gently notified them all that perhaps a well-planned family reunion in a convenient spot during a NON holiday time would be a better alternative in the future..

11:41 am

caitlyn

You have had more than enough to worry about Scarlet but yes it was my bday on Sat

11:41 am

Aloyisius

Happy Belated B-day, caitlyn!

11:42 am

Aloyisius

11:50 am

caitlyn

Although there was no music in a hot and sweaty Tescos shop today

11:51 am

Scarlet

There was another one that I just loved, but cannot remember the exact quote: I want to slip on a banana peel when I'm all used up in my 90's with a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other... actually the quote was better than my ancient memory, but it was cute!! Yea for Funky Chicken dancers worldwide!!

11:51 am

Uniquity

Well, some places say Angela Monet, others say George Carlin, and yet others say other people. (The author, that is)

back in Ontario, our town had a Canada Day parade which of course was a gathering of the whole street, great fun

11:59 am

flosey

thank you Aloy and wildcat

12:00 pm

Haz1558

There are three cu7/36 - the easiest one to find is the last - plural hot Indian food. The penultimate one is the same, save for the final letter which moves one back in the alphabet. The first cu7/36 is plural cu6/24 - it ends in the past tense of 'sprint'.

12:00 pm

Aloyisius

12:05 pm

Haz1558

I don't know, Uniquity. Are you volunteering?

12:06 pm

12:06 pm

flosey

12:06 pm

Atalante

Ata will be away too!

12:07 pm

caitlyn

And now I must go and do some dead heading in the garden..........I will leave the smelling salts in case anyone needs them as the grid is big, see you all tomorrow, and have a great day Flosey, bye

*Declining religious aspect of holidays altogether* :) And the cost...pahoo, the cost. Lack of sincerity, the feeling of "having" to give gifts to certain people. I prefer to celebrate only with those I wish to spend time with. I love that part, but the rest I could leave.

12:39 pm

EvaNadine

12:53 pm

hurshy

12:53 pm

Uniquity

I need a clue for any of the ce6s please. Stinky C words.

12:53 pm

periwinkle

hurshy, I meant that as a question

12:53 pm

hurshy

(and i mean that unidirectionally)

12:54 pm

hurshy

ce6 sounds like a dog star

12:54 pm

hurshy

12:54 pm

Gadget

We made the Big Turk and Hawkin's Cheesies - those are my pride of Canadian junk food

12:54 pm

Atalante

do you eat chocolate, Lexlee?

12:54 pm

periwinkle

one of the ce6/27 sounds like the big top here

12:54 pm

Uniquity

...Smarties are always chocolate! They are smarties!

12:54 pm

hurshy

and then, i need all the other ce6, so if you clue them it's a twofer

12:54 pm

periwinkle

ok, I have had american smarties and don't like them

12:55 pm

hurshy

nobody likes them. i'm surprised they haven't gone out of business.

12:55 pm

hurshy

maybe they get government subsidies.

12:55 pm

Uniquity

What is in them then? Air?

12:55 pm

periwinkle

hursh, did you see my clue for one of the ce6

12:55 pm

hurshy

12:55 pm

hurshy

they are tart fruit sugar candies :P

12:55 pm

periwinkle

waaay toooo many C words here

12:56 pm

periwinkle

they are really nasty candies, american smarties

12:56 pm

Uniquity

Whatever these so called American Smarties are, they sound like an abomination.

12:57 pm

hurshy

an abomination that causes desolation

12:57 pm

SeanS

they're still better than candy hearts... i swear they're made with chalk and beeswax

12:57 pm

Uniquity

Thanks Peri, Hursh. Only three ce left for me.

12:57 pm

hurshy

i disagree, the tartness makes smarties worse, in my opinion

12:58 pm

Uniquity

I amwondering if American Smarties aren't what I call Rockets...off to google!

12:58 pm

Uniquity

They are little discs of compressed sugar that come rolled up in plastic, yes?

12:59 pm

SeanS

indeed, Uni

12:59 pm

hurshy

yes

12:59 pm

Uniquity

Those are rockets, up here. Little kids like them. Big halloween candy. Not that great, but no abomination!

1:01 pm

periwinkle

hey, Scarlet, I am here too!

1:01 pm

Uniquity

I wonder now why you guys don't just call them rockets as well. I'll need to remember this in the future. I wonder if it is because rocket is a touchy term? Hmm...

1:01 pm

hurshy

1:03 pm

Uniquity

The song Gay Bar has been edited now because it says "lets start a war, a nuclear war"....they put fuzz over war and nuclear war. I don't think it is always editted though. At least, I hope.

1:03 pm

cr*ella devile + I **n all the way here!

1:05 pm

Uniquity

then add a consonant for the 6.

1:05 pm

periwinkle

thanks Uni, was getting a headache looking for them

1:06 pm

SeanS

i just wikipedia-ed the whole smarties vs. rockets thing, it says that the reason they are marketed as rockets in Canada is too avoid confusion with the Nestle Smarties, which is the European chocolate candy

1:06 pm

hurshy

50 to go!!!

1:06 pm

Atalante

the REAL smarties!

1:07 pm

Scarlet

1:09 pm

Scarlet

Add a vowel

1:09 pm

periwinkle

1:09 pm

hurshy

ah well peri, just thought i would try

1:09 pm

Uniquity

Almostall the cu words I have start with cu and the consonant from 'to heal'

1:11 pm

SeanS

sorry for the delay (i'm at work) but Uni, I'm pretty sure that the European Smarties were around first, which is why they had to market them as Rockets in Canada... because Smarties already existed for you.

1:11 pm

hurshy

mine too, all but actor prompts

1:12 pm

Uniquity

This is just silly. Then American Smarties should be called rockets as well. I wish that 'name brands' didn't make everything so complicated. But thanks Sean! I was way too lazy to research.

1:12 pm

Atalante

Our Snickers used to be called Marathons. Wish they still were

1:13 pm

redturtlehead

Good Afternoon everyone. Anyone for coffee, I just made a fresh pot of Sumatran.

Aloyisius

lol... lo again, Scarlet!

1:14 pm

Scarlet

Howdy, Aloy!

1:14 pm

SeanS

well, see they made them in American, not knowing about the chocolate candies under the same name. then when they went to market the candy in Canada, they were like "oh, you already have smarties... what can we call them?" hence the difference... americans already knew them as smarties, which is why they didn't change the name for us

1:14 pm

periwinkle

Hi Aloy

1:14 pm

hurshy

cu5 sounds like actors john & joan

1:14 pm

Scarlet

So much happier now that the crisis is over, red! How are you now?
